6. Turn the hull side panel unit face down,then press TOP EDGE flanges to back and gluein place ALL EXCEPT the flange that is adjacentto the straight side edge. (This flange will befolded and glued in place later.)

. . . position and attach it to the bottom flange tabsof the hull tube. NOTE: One way to do this is to "audition" the fitof the hexagon edges to the tab perforation lines,re-shaping the hull hex tube to match - paper thickness may cause the hexagon to fit slightlyinside the tab perforations. Then, noting that offset,first attach one hex edge to its tab, and when secure,folding the hex base into position to attach tothe remaining tabs.

10. Prepare the hull reinforcement collar bybending all of the edge flanges forward/upward.

11. Insert the collar into the hull top opening,

adjusting the opening edges to conform to collar,

and slipping the collar downward into the hull

so that the top edge of the collar flange alignes

just below the hull flange. Then . . .

. . . apply finger pressure all around to secure

each of the 6 edge "seams".

12. Prepare the 3 lid side panel shapes by

bending back on all perforation lines

as was done for hull shapes.

13. Join the 3 shapes at side seams.

14. Add accent strips to lid side panels.

NOTE: the cut file includes variations for

lid side panel accents, depending on specialty

print being used, or other considerations.

The strips used on this project include NO

offset, either at top and bottom edges, nor sides.

15. Reverse the lid side panel unit to press

and attach bottom edge flanges to backside . . .

. . . leaving the final flange adjacent to the straight

side edge unattached until later in assembly.

16. Form the lid unit into a ring to bring togetherthe final straight edge and tab, and join.

4. Complete the lid decoration by layeringthe two offset shapes together with centercircle opening edges lined up, then centeringand attaching on the lid top.Position and attach the chipboard medallionon the offset accents, with center openingedges of all lined up.
